Robert Durst, the wealthy New York real estate heir, who was convicted of killing his best friend and sentenced to life in prison, has died.
He was 78.
Durst died in a state prison hospital facility in Stockton, his attorney Chip Lewis said.
He said it was from natural causes due to a number of health issues.
Durst was convicted in September of shooting Susan Berman at point-blank range in 2000 at her Los Angeles home.
He was sentenced to life Oct. 14.
Two days later, he was hospitalized with COVID-19, his trial attorney Dick DeGuerin said.
Durst was dogged for decades with suspicion in the disappearance and deaths of those around him before he was finally nailed for two deaths.
